However, there are also many students getting by on loans and part-time jobs.” Students describe themselves as “extremely intelligent.” Politics vary widely. “There’s a decidedly conservative bent among students who’ve been out in the world,” though, and, on the whole, it’s probably safe to say that “the students are more conservative than the teachers.”Some students warn that the academic environment is really intense. “Sabotage” does happen, they claim. First-year students are “crazy competitive and not always nice to each other.” Others tell us that a “friendly, familial atmosphere” and a great sense of camaraderie” pervade the campus. “We are silently competitive against each other academically. In general, we are like a big law school family,” says a 3L. “Most students are very friendly and helpful.” Either way, there seems to be some consensus that full-time day students are “more competitive” while the “older, working”nontraditional students who attend at night “are more willing to help each other.”The quality of life outside the classroom is pretty high.

Students enjoy “close proximity to Southern California beaches such as Huntington, Newport, and Laguna.” “There is an active organization on campus for just about anything a student could think of.” “Students who live near the campus are exceedingly social.” “There are some cliques and an in crowd.” “There are many groups of people who strike me as being very tight,” observes a 2L.More Less
